Review of the Red Lion Inn Victoria
Sep 27, 2010
We stay at the Red Lion Inn several times every year. Since the fire and the
following restoration the place is super clean. The suites are fantastic. Yes,
there is some noise coming from .the outside of the Hotel, but not all the time.
Super fast WIVI. Also upon arrival they do not run outside, help you with your
luggage and park your car. We are 100% satisfied.

Our stay at the Red Lion was ok. The room rate was decent, for the Victoria
area. The room had dirt on the doors, dust caked chrome in the bathroom, and
dirty finger smudged light switches.
Our oven had gunk on it...so basically, I had to clean up the room, before I
could settle in.
The beds were clean, and the rest of the room was decent. Pool was clean and in
good repair... my teen was really glad to have the pool.
The staff was very friendly and helpful during our stay.
I did mention the room condition to the staff, and disputed our $15.00 nightly
pet fee due to me having to clean up the room, but was charged anyway.
You might need to cover your children's eyes...however......
There was young lady who I'm pretty sure, was a hooker, by the butt cheeks
visibly hanging 1/2 out of her slinky see through outfit, dressed in her serious
stillettos, didn't have to pay $15.00 a night, for her "pets".

We stayed at the Red Lion in Victoria for 2 nights in mid-August. I was very
reluctant to stay at a hotel/liquor store/Chinese restaurant/nightclub but it
turned out to be an OK place. The hotel itself was well maintained. The front
desk guy was very helpful and even looked up and printed off some directions for
a hiking trail we wanted to try. There were questionable looking people coming
and going which is always a little worriesome. Items sold in the vending
machines also made me wonder what kind of place we were staying at.
We had a queen studio room (room 112) which included a small kitchenette, desk,
small sofa and queen size bed. The hotel has a "half floor" layout so our room
had full sized windows but was partially below ground level. The floors were a
wood-laminate which looked nice and the room was very clean. There was a small
coffeemaker in the room and it was nice to have a small fridge. The bathroom had
plenty of counter space and was also clean and well maintained. Plent of towels
were provided. My main complaint was with the uncomfortable mattress (extremely
hard) and absolutely awful, lumpy pillows. All 3 pillows felt like they were
filled with tennis balls. Replacing the pillows would be an easy fix that would
make the room much more comfortable.
The hotel has a small pool with a few tables and loungers around it. It was a
nice place to cool off after a warm day out sightseeing. There are 2 computer
terminals in the lobby for guest use although they were occupied by the same 3
young boys every time I tried to use them.
The hotel has free parking which was nice although it is not really within
walking distance of the inner harbour area. If you drive into the city center,
parking is about $2.50 per hour most places but free after 6pm in most (all?)
areas.
I would recommend this hotel if you're looking for a clean, reasonably priced
place to stay. I would also recommend bringing your own pillow!

We traveled during the peak season. For $95, we have double bed room with
kitchenette. I like their laminate floor coz carpet always gives me allergy
feelings. Staff including cleaning ladies are very friendly. Grocery store
nearby is difficult to find. Has to ask front desk for directions. Pool is small
but okay for a short swim.

We had a one bedroom suite. It had 2 TV's, leather sofa, hardwood floors, marble
table tops, granite bathroom, jetted bathtub, full kitchen ( no oven ), 2 air
conditioners, and was only a 10 minute drive to the inner harbour. And all this
for only $100 a night and that's very good for Victoria.
Chinese restaurant on the lower level was a nice bonus.

Ended up with a double bed room, the room was really tight and the bed was super
uncomfortable.
The staff was friendly.
The on site restaurant was a Chinese cuisine that tasted excellent but beware
the breaded shrimp was not deveined. No spa and an outside unheated pool
No continental breakfast
